Let’s Get Together

Happy Friday, gang, and HAPPY MARCH! There is a light at the end of this very dark, very cold tunnel known as winter--we are almost there.
Speaking of winter, we took these pictures for Aida's second birthday back in January, so it's high time I shared them with you, dear readers! I absolutely love every single one.
I know it can be pricey to get professional photos, but I definitely recommend it, especially for special occasions, and when it comes to taking pictures of babies or ... View the Post

Happy Hump Day! Believe it or not, tomorrow morning we are heading to get pictures done for Aida's second birthday. That's right, you heard me--her 2nd. Birthday.
I just cannot believe my little darling is growing up so quickly. She is fierce and brave and mischievous and independent, and I just want to hold onto these moments forever but the days keep marching on.
This little girl is also terribly, terribly smart, and it's terrifying! I'm pretty sure she's already smarter than I ... View the Post

Hello, friends! We are trying to get back to normal after our weekend trip to my hometown of Abingdon, Virginia. I love traveling--and when I travel to Abingdon I always feel like I'm going home--but it sure feels nice to be sleeping in my own bed again.Obviously, our trip inspired today's post. I love going to big cities or exotic locations just as much as the next person, but small towns of America hold a special place in my heart. Maybe it's because I grew up in one, maybe it's because most ... View the Post

Well friends, as we like to say around here, this has been quite the "rufferee" of a few weeks. (Did you also beg your significant other to let you buy that pet costume during this past fall at Target? And did you never buy it but start using the term "rufferee" all the time? Me too!)Poor Millie, she never gets to wear Halloween costumes! All pictures by Hannah EliseAida has been super fussy and we've had trouble getting her to fall asleep. She'll doze off in our arms, but once you lay her down ... View the Post

Recently, one of my favorite bloggers, Chelsea at The New Wifestyle, put together a post about her 15 favorite photos of the year. These were photos that usually had a memorable story behind them, so it really was a way to recap her year through pictures. I commented on how much I loved the idea, so she made a link up!It took me long enough, but I finally put them together--we've still got over a week left in 2015, so there's time for you to join in as well!1. That ain't no etch-a-sketch, your ... View the Post

Winter makes me absolutely miserable. Lack of sunlight, cold weather, and additional stresses at work all combine to make the perfect storm of misery, thus earning its reputation as the WORST time of year. Despite my rantings and ravings, I love a good snowfall. I love staring at the falling snow, and I love the peaceful stillness that every snowfall seems to bring.During our most recent snow, Millie and I took several long walks in the woods behind our house, and around our ...
